Founder

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
At least 4 years (could it be 5 or is my brain in denial of how time has flown by?! I started with personal training with Casey, then moved onto bootcamp classes.

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Getting started after the holidays or vacation is always a challenge! Once you make exercising a routine and not an exception, it becomes part of your daily life and you will enjoy coming to class (really!) I do detest sprinting and reverse up-downs and planks!

What keeps you coming back?
Having friends helps me to enjoy the class - the camaraderie you develop with the fellow campers helps motivate me! It is also fun to see the changes in your fellow campers- it is inspiring! And to be honest, if I didn't have bootcamp, I would not do any strength exercises. I do a lot of cardio on my own, so to have those strength exercises incorporated into the bootcamp classes is key for me. I used to exercise regularly on my own, but never saw results until I joined FitnessBootCamp4U!

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
Absolutely! Doesn't matter what your fitness level is - you can do it! I have witnessed campers who could barely walk the Friday runs - only to see them run the whole way weeks later! Even if you are fit- it is a great workout and the workout changes - which is what our bodies need to keep fit!

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
I believe it was in January of 2007, very first 6 pm class.

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Loved the program and the results so much that I became an instructor! But......I do dislike the tires VERY much! Ask anyone! The most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U is not going!

What keeps you coming back?
The results in the mirror and how I feel! I am in better shape than I was at 26, 36…; I also love the lifelong friends I have made!

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
MOST DEFINITELY!!!

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
Started in April 2008; 5am class on Tu/Thur/Sat. Have been a long timer now of M/W/F 5am classes. Prefer the dark morning workouts instead of later sunny times.

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
When missing boot camp for more than one week (vacation) or not eating the right foods. You can really feel the difference in your body when you take a break from exercising or not eating the right foods (balanced nutrition).

What keeps you coming back?
The people you interact with (groups make it fun), the feeling of doing a workout outdoors, and just plain feeling like you can accomplish anything!

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
I would recommend this kind of fitness to anyone who wants to FEEL better about themselves!

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
Started Feb. 2, 2009

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Starting and getting past the first 4 weeks. It is tough and I wanted to quit, but I forced myself to stick with it. Getting past the first session was hard.

What keeps you coming back?
My results (weight loss, toned muscles, strength and endurance) and the people. I lost 20 lbs in the first 2 months of joining and have maintained my weight by attending FB4U regularly. FB4U (Casey) constantly introduces new programs and keeps it new and challenging. The support and friendships of the other campers (members) also keeps me in attendance.

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
Yes, most definitely. I had very little exercise experience; I had never joined an exercise gym or club. The FB4U exercise programs give me strength and endurance beyond what I ever thought possible. It is a great workout!

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
Started in January 2009

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Most difficult part of FB4U is not drinking diet soda.

What keeps you coming back?
I keep coming back because it makes my life better: I sleep better, think better and feel better. My body always misses the fitness if I have to miss class.

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
I would recommend the program to others if they are serious about being fit.

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
Started in January 2010 at the 5 am MWF boot camp. Attended for nearly 2 years and have continued to keep the weight off.

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Getting up at 5 am but, once I do, I am so happy I did. My day is not complete without it.

What keeps you coming back?
A few things, the workouts keep changing and keep challenging me to get better. Also, I have NEVER felt better in my life. Losing 100 lbs, getting toned up, losing 50 inches overall on my body. Most of all, the friends that I have gained at camp!

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
ABSOLUTELY, I had NO previous exercise schedule and was 100+ lbs over weight and it has transformed my life. Work and family life is better with my new healthy life style! I had forgotten how good it felt, to feel this good!

"Here are what some of our "long time participants" say about us"

How long have you been going to FitnessBootCamp4U?
Started April 25, 2011.

What have you found to be the most difficult part of FitnessBootCamp4U?
Day One, over two years ago, was the toughest for me.

What keeps you coming back?
I like the way I feel and look. Every session I am challenged. I've been a member at a gym and I've exercised on my own but I have never had results like this. Casey knows what routines to put together to work our bodies. Also, fellow bootcampers help motive and inspire. We are all there for the same reason--to be fit.

Would you recommend this program to others, including those with little or no previous exercise regimen?
Yes. It is difficult and you will sweat, but in the end you'll see results.

ELAINE

I have been blessed not only with fantastic weight loss (30+ lbs.) and body shape change since starting Casey’s Falcon Point class back in late summer of 2011, but have met some of the most positive and dedicated people I have ever met.

From the first day I started, the entire group has continued to encourage me to push forward and improve, even if it is just one more push-up or a few seconds off my Friday run time. This is more than just your standard workout or boot camp.

It’s not always easy to get up for a 5 am class, especially when the weather is cold or rainy, and there are so many things to get done with home and work; but the only regrets I have are those days when I didn’t get up and start my day with my workout family.

FitnessBootCamp4U is the best investment I have made in myself. Not only for the physical strength I have gained, but for the mental fortitude it has given me to push through even when I think I can’t possibly drag those tires or shuffle the baby one more step.
If you are looking for a consistently challenging workout with noticeable results, this is the place to start.

I LOVE Casey's bootcamp!! I've been attending his bootcamp for over 9 months and I can't imagine not getting up and going several days a week. It wasn't easy in the beginning, but I stuck with it and it has paid off! I'm a mom of 4 boys and life is demanding. I made a personal goal to commit to the 5:00 am class and it has changed my life! I have lost 35 pounds. Now I am back to my high school weight which I thought would never happen after having kids. Casey keeps you motivated and keeps the workouts interesting by adding new exercises and challenges to the workouts. Along with the workouts, Casey has helped me incorporate a healthy and sensible diet that fits my lifestyle. I would recommend his bootcamp to anyone looking to improve themselves. Thank you FitnessBootCamp4U!!

VICKI

My weight was continuing to climb and I could see that I needed to take an aggressive step to lose some weight. I committed to myself that I would start the boot camp as soon as school ended in June 2011. I went out the first time and I was amazed at what we did. I was also very excited. My goal was to lose between 25 & 30 pounds. I continued to go out and my fellow boot campers helped a lot. I met my goal weight by October. I lost 25 pounds and 32 inches. I lost 2 pant sizes and I feel great. Now I continue to come because I enjoy the feeling that pushing my body gives me and I enjoy Casey and my fellow boot campers. My biggest tip is that you HAVE to follow the meal plan because I feel like that really gets the weight off.

Step one: sign up and report. You won’t regret it!!!

I weighted 325 lbs before I started my diet. I slept with a C-pap machine because I would stop breathing at night. After finding my grade school friends on Facebook, we all decided to put together a 35th reunion; that was in May of 2010. Then is when I decided to get back into shape. I changed my eating habits; I cut out the soda and fast foods.

I started to walk and then joined the YMCA where I saw Casey’s Fitness Boot camp program. I wanted to join it but knew I would not survive 3 minutes in the shape I was in. I hadn’t worked out in over 20 years. I started with Zumba to get my body used to moving again. Did that for a few months, and then moved on to a cycling and core classes for another few months to get my body use to exercising again.

I lost 60 lbs my own. Now you’d say that’s good, right? Well yes it was, but everything was sagging and there was no toning up. So I decided to join Casey’s FitnessBootCamp4U on February 1st. That first day, after just one hour, I sat on the bench in the Y and I could not move for an hour-in-a-half. Mind you, I worked out on my own for 7 months previously to get into shape for this camp.

I went home and soaked in the tub for 2 days with Advil becoming my best friend. I worked hard 3 days a week with Casey and went to the gym on the other 2 days. Casey taught me how to eat better by eating the right foods for losing weight and gaining energy. Casey is funny and firm, at the same time he has the patience of a saint, and cares about his clients by taking the time to explain things. Most of all he knows how to motivate you to push yourself. When you think you can’t go on he gives you the encouragement to do so without yelling and screaming.

Three months later (February to April), I lost 15 lbs and 11 inches over my body, (a total of 85Lbs); dropped from a 52” waist to a 40” waist. I toned up and have cuts in my arms that I NEVER had before. I increased my cardio, I feel better, I look better, I’m stronger, and don’t need my C-Pap machine to breath at night. It took me a year ~ to go from looking like this (on left), to this (on right). Unfortunately I’m moving and unable to continue with Casey. He has set the bar very high to find another instructer to replace him where I‘m going. If you want to get into shape and tone up Casey’s FitnessBootCamp4U is the way to go! Thanks Casey!!

One cookie, two cookie, three cookie, four,
I know how you feel, I’ve been there before.
I ate like a pig with baby number one,
No wonder I ended up weighing a ton.
Now all stressed out with two kids in tote,
I need some chocolate to shove down my throat.
Take a deep breath and just sit back,
You really don’t need that junky snack.
Think of your health and what lies ahead,
Not today’s workout that you will dread.
Casey might seem scary, but it’s all a facade.
At the end of boot camp you’ll have one rockin’ bod!

WOW! is a good place to start. Before beginning with Fitness Boot Camp 4U I had lost about 25 lbs. I have always struggled with my weight up and down. So here is a quick play by play since starting with FitnessBootCamp4U.

The night before I started I got the worst night sleep ever. I was just thinking about what was going to happen. After day one it felt like I was wearing my lungs on the outside of my body but, I did not die so all was ok. I seriously had to talk myself into coming back to day two. My wife said, “you paid for it, you’re going!”. I swore I was not coming back for the second week. After that passed, I swore I was not coming back after the first month was done. I've been going every month since I started in late January this year, and I am addicted! I know this is hard to believe that a 305 lb man can be addicted to a fitness boot camp. As you can see in the pictures, my body has changed. I am now down another 67 lbs! This totals 92 lbs of fat gone and it’s not coming back - thanks to the nutritional education I’ve received. I am now 238 lbs which is 10 lbs lighter than when I got married 12 years ago.

There are a few things to remember. I was seriously obese (305 lbs, after 25 lbs down), with back problems, poor knees, no cardio stamina and I am still alive. Yes, it hurts, but it is so worth the initial aches and pain. The pain DOES go away. Casey and the other instructors modify exercises as needed; just keep moving. The nutrition information is fabulous! Expect to be held accountable. Lastly, if you want to lose weight, tone up, and increase your overall health, for god sake get hooked up with FitnessBootcamp4U.com.

Thank you to Casey for not giving up on me and pushing me beyond my comfort zone.

MARCELLO

I signed up for FitnessBootCamp4U to loose some weight and get into better shape. Before joining I weighted 175 lbs. At the end of the 4-week program, I lost 15 lbs. and my overall stamina and energy, due to my diet and excerise, helped me achieve my goals. Not only did I loose the extra weight around my waist, but I also lost inches and felt much better!

The FitnessBootCamp4U exercise and nutrition program really work. Thanks Casey for your help and support!

FitnessBootCamp4U has completely changed my life. Not only have I lost weight & inches, but I have changed the way I eat. It's been over a year since my first bootcamp and I am happy to say I have continued to lose weight and tone because of what Casey has taught me.

I was crazy enough to go along with my mother when she wanted to join bootcamp last January. I hate cold weather, sweating and getting dirty but thought I would be there to support my mom... so I joined Fitness bootcamp.

Not only did I want to be there for my mom, I was also determined to get back into the shape I was in before getting married :)

I had been a competitive cheerleader for 15 years so I thought I could do it no problem. Boy was I wrong!! Not only have I never been so sore in my life, I was also accountable for what I ate - which meant my love for diet cokes and Mexican food had to end.

Casey is a ROCKSTAR and I couldn't have done it without him. He continued to push and encourage me so that I would get results and accomplish my goals.

I finally made a commitment to losing weight in January 2009. After being frustrated with my weight over the past 5 years, I finally decided that I had to do something about it. I came across the FitnessBootCamp4U website and knew that this bootcamp was exactly what I needed to do. I didn't really believe that I would ever be 115 pounds again, but Casey told me he could help me get there. I was terrified to go to that first class, and it was so hard... but Casey motivated me to continue with the program.

At the end of the first month, I had already lost 9.5 pounds and my clothes were already too big. After seeing these results, I decided to continue with the program. I just finished my sixth month, and am proud to say, "I AM 115 POUNDS AGAIN!!"
Casey taught me how to eat healthy and keep my body healthy. He has a wonderful nutritional plan that helped to teach me how to evaluate the food choices that I make. His nutritional plan is not some crazy diet to lose weight, and then to gain it all back when you quit dieting. He teaches you how to eat nutritionally everyday for the rest of your life! He held me accountable for everything I ate every day.

The group setting of FitnessBootCamp4U is fantastic! The other campers are supportive of each other and motivate each other to meet their goals. Casey always give everyone his undivided attention and ensures that you are doing the exercises correctly to prevent any injuries. He is truly there to help you meet your goals! He does not give up on any of his boot camp participants. He has a wonderful way of motivating you. Casey taught me to push myself to the fullest. I have done things that I never believed were possible. I have lost 38 pounds and my body fat has decreased 16.6%! In addition to that, I have lost a total of 33 inches!!

Nothing is impossible with Casey and FitnessBootCamp4U. I would recommend this boot camp to anyone who wants to lose weight or just stay in shape. It is hard to have to commit yourself fully, but is well worth it! I have decided to continue with this program just because I love the exercises and really enjoy the experience. I could never thank Casey enough for what he has done for me. I have never felt this great in my life!

The birthday gift to myself in Oct 2007 for my 44th birthday; the commitment to get fit, lose weight, and improve my overall quality of life.

Sometimes that is easier said then done. At 5’5”, 203 lbs, it seemed like a truly daunting task, it seemed unattainable.

I can say now that all of the hard work and sacrifice was well worth it. I feel fantastic, my overall health has improved, my blood pressure has returned to normal and I look good too. At least that’s what my husband says.

Due to my dedication to diet and exercise I have lost more then 70 pounds. I went from a size 16 to a size 4. While that transformation took more then a year, and required a complete lifestyle change, thanks to Casey and FitnessBootCamp4U, I lost 10% body fat in the past 8 weeks.

Casey, Holli and Jorge have made exercise fun again. Yes, you sweat. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, the accomplishment makes you feel great inside and out.

The boot camp experience has truly changed my life for the better.

100 pounds gone!!! I can’t believe how just a change of mindset one day led me to my success. I was a junior in high school when I was dangerously obese weighing 265lbs at 5’8. I had the worst eating habits, but still my goal was to lose 100 pounds before my senior year. One of my goals was to lose all the weight by my senior year which was only 10 months away. I needed all the professional help I could get, so that’s when I made the decision to join FitnessBootCamp4u. The camp totally jump-started my fitness activity to a higher level. As a beginner I knew it was going to be tough in the beginning to get in shape, but with the help of Casey and Jonathan I knew it could be done. Since I really didn’t know much about healthy eating, the meal plan I was given was helping me shred fat and inches in just weeks! The trainers at FitnessBootCamp4u also taught me the importance of keeping a positive attitude when striving for my goals. They helped take all of those negative thoughts out of my head like the “I don’t think I can", or "this is just too hard.” I got rid of those negative thoughts and next thing you know I lost 14lbs in just 4 weeks! I remember when people doubted my 100 pound weight loss goal and tried to make me think that I could never lose that much weight. But now I can say to all of those people who doubted me, "I’ve lost 100 pounds!" At FitnessBootCamp4u you will get top notch training on how to achieve your goals, even if it’s the last couple of pounds, because sometimes those last few pounds can be the hardest ones to lose. Motivation is definitely a major key to any success, and I can’t think of a better place then FitnessBootCamp4u to help you get started and get you closer to your goal.

I have struggled with my weight since I was in Junior High School. I have tried countless diets and exercise plans, but was never able to stick to any of them long enough to see real results. My goal was just to “get skinny” and when that didn’t happen fast enough, I would just give up. After much prodding from a friend, I reluctantly signed up for FitnessBootcamp4U. When I showed up on the first day, I was scared – I was so out of shape that when I went shopping, I would get winded just walking from the parking lot to the door. Casey immediately made me feel better about myself. He didn’t see my size as a problem, just an obstacle that I needed to overcome. He wouldn’t let me feel bad about what I could not do. Instead, he encouraged me and helped me see how much I could do! At the end of the first month, I had lost 20 pounds, and more importantly, I found strength in myself that I never knew existed. My body and my mind had changed – my goal was no longer just to get skinny, but for the first time in my life, I really wanted to “get fit.” I have now completed 5 months of BootCamp, and I’m not finished yet! In November, I will be running a half marathon – not bad for a girl who struggled to walk from the parking lot! I’ve already lost 65 pounds, and have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 12/14. I have no doubt that I will reach my goal of losing at least 100 pounds. I know that my life has forever changed, thanks to Casey and Fitness Bootcamp. And, if I can do this – anyone can!

I have been an athlete all my life. I was a cross country and track runner in high school and college. I continued, with exercise thru the birth of my children and stayed in shape. Ten years ago, I lost my mom to cancer and also lost my desire to exercise and take care of myself. After so long of being out of shape and not eating right, you forget how to do it. Casey and Chris and the boot camps helped me get back on track. I forgot how great or ( as Casey likes to say, 'FANTASTIC') it is to feel strong and healthy again. They really have enriched my life and helped make me to become a stronger person both mentally and physically. I have become addicted to the training and workouts.

Last March when I started boot camp I was 165 pounds at 5 feet tall and wore a size 12. Now I am 130 pounds and am in a size 6. Casey, at the beginning of boot camp asks what your goals are and I have achieved one of my goals, by getting back into a size 6.. Without Casey and his team I don't know if I would have met these goals in 4 months. They motivate you, as well as create a meal plan for you to follow. I think anyone having a hard time getting motivated should try boot camp; it is tough! I don't think I have worked this hard since I ran in college, but it makes you a better person inside and out.

I started Casey's boot camp as support for my friend. After the first month she quit, but I was hooked. I was an athlete earlier in my life, but hadn't exercised consistently for over 20 years. Training with Casey and Maria has been amazing. Their no-nonsense approach and instruction has changed my view of fitness. I no longer sit around and talk about exercising, but I actually get up and do it. I am currently training for my first half marathon and planning to do a triathlon in the near future. I am even reading exercise magazines and trying different exercises. I have loved being in Boot camp with Maria. When I started boot camp, I weighed 205 lbs and wore size 16/18. I have lost over 30lbs and now wear size 8/10. My new goal is to obtain six pack abs and amazing arms. I have never experienced someone so committed to helping others get fit. I have made great strides and great friends. THANK YOU MARIA AND CASEY!

FitnessBootCamp4U has changed my life forever. There is no way I am ever going back to being so unhealthy! Boot camp is tough but is well worth it. Not only do I enjoy working out now but Casey has taught me to make better choices with food. I was a fast food junkie when I signed up 4 months ago. I have not had any junk food and I don't miss it at all. Casey really pushes me hard to do my best and never give up but he is also very supportive. I still have a lot of work to do but the hard part is over, I took the first step.
